tick tock, we're three days away from possibly going off the fiscal cliff. it's our focus this morning. if lawmakers fail to reach a deal, that would mean spending cuts and tax hikes for 88% of all american households on tuesday. look at the number from the tax policy center. these numbers are interesting. some of the poorest americans who make up to $20,000 a year will have to shell out about $412 more to the irs, and everyone earning more than $40,000 a year will be affected. if you make $40,000 to $64,000 a year, you'll pay almost $2,000 more a year, and if you make a little more between $64,000 to $108,000, that number jumps to $3,500. and anyone making more than $108,000, you'll have to give up more than $14,000. overall, the average american will pay more than $3,500 a year. the question needs to be asked here, will lawmakers be able to pull off a new deal before the new year? the managing director joins me now live from miami. you, dylan, were part of the bush administration a little more than a decade ago, which actually initiated this series of tax

remember, the economy was going off a cliff. a real cliff. and not a symbolic fiscal cliff. i mean, but it was a real economic cliff, over which we had no control at all. he took the reins and prevented another great depression. we had a very, very deep recession and we are still in the gravitational pull of that deep recession, but a lot of conservative republicans, many of whom had been elected in 2010, they looked at what president obama had done with regard to the stimulus package, and everything else, and they said, this is simply too much government. we hate government, we don't want government. and we were elected on a very ideological platform of shrinking the federal government. of kind of an anti-government obsession, of the sort that we haven't seen in this country in decades. >> all right. well, we're looking for the isaac newton to free us from that gravitational pull of these republican ideologues. robert reich, thank you so very much. and our sincere apologies to amanda turco of "the huffington post," who was unable to join us due to technical difficulties bey

this is what we know are the the his own fiscal cliff show. most of the contestants make a choice not dealing with the real world mathematical probabilities of the situation they are in. contestants don't look at the innate silver, but they are driven by their emotions. contestants behave in more risky ways and taking bigger chances when less likely to pay off when prior expectations have been shattered by eliminating prior briefcases or other expectations have been surpassed by opening low-value briefcases. in other words, contestants are much more likely to make a deal if they are feeling desperate or feeling lucky based on what has happened earlier. sound familiar, washington? house republicans know that the number of political briefcases has dwindled considerably, and very little chance to win the big payoff and they know that the white house is not in one of those cases. they know that the senate majority is not in one of those cases, but what is likely to be in the case is a further downgrade of american credit. they can hear all of us i
